Commitment

Ok I am either committed or need committed *grin*. I finish a hard days work..well I finish work (leave home at approx 6am get home at 6pm) and instead of going home and relaxing I met up with Reg and Jen for some Cycling (they started earlier). My bike, padded & unpadded shorts, and a tshirt were to be waiting for me at the fairground. Unfortunately only the bike made it.

Did I decide not to bother on account of no padding, or on account of wearing heavy khakis? Hell no got 2 laps in before it was time to go. Not as much as I would like but damn are my legs tired today, think the weekend and Monday has hit me. Glad I will safely be at personal training tonight....WTH did I just say that *LOL*? Actually it sucks that today will be last decent day for a week or two at least.. I hate cold!

Mileage for Monday was
  • Me :- 3 miles
  • Jen :- approx 11-12 miles
  • Reggie :- approx 8-9 miles

We finished the evening off by going to Casablanca for some yummy low carb foodstuffs (which has resulted in the same yummy foodstuffs for lunch today *LOL*).

The things we do

We ate at O'charlies last night, and I think I did well I had the black and blue salad for dinner. My one partial cheat was the cheese wedges. I didnt eat the wedges, just the cheese. *grin* casue cheese is on the low carb diet. If you are unsure what I mean have a look below *LOL*.


See you soon

Diet and Weight

So since I put on the extra weight I have been toying with going back on to a low carb diet. It to date has been the only diet that worked for me where I ended up losing 50lbs and kept it off until I slipped back into my old ways. First its amazing how diets end up being fads, when I did it before it was all the rage and everything was "low carb" complete with a heinz low carb ketchup (1g instead of 4g of carbs). Doing it the second time you can no longer find the stuff. Never the less my 6 week plan is weeks 1-2 40g of carbs (net), week 3-4 30g of carbs, and week 5-6 20g of carbs where my goal is to try and stay until I lose the weight I need (along with working out). This is a modified low carb diet, i will be keeping mainly away from red meat if I can staying with fishes and poultry to try minimize unhealthy fat. This is not to say if I go to a steak house im not having a steak.... hell will freeze over before that happens, its a low carb diet I'm allowed *LOL* just will make sure i get steamed veggies with it. For day one I did well, my gross carbs was at 40g which probably means approx 30-35g of net carbs.


Weigh in at 6am today :- 304lbs
